Toyota has put sensible design to work by taking the original design of the 2007 Vios and adding sophisticated improvements to complement its contoured form. The 2010 Vios features a new grille: the bars on the grille curve softly downwards in the direction of the middle point, giving the grille a slight “V” appearance, and giving the vehicle an all round sporty look. The tail lamps for this 2010 model are also different: they curve in an outward direction and present an even more dimensional design to the rear. The electrically collapsible lateral mirrors are also an improvement on the Vios.

The 1.5 TRD Sportivo is the cheeky and sporty version of the lot, and comes with a leather wrap steering wheel, 15 inch, 7 spoke alloy wheels and a 5 piece Aerokit, which advances the streamlined and sporty appearance of the Toyota Vios.
